Killer VHS Series

Melon Head Mayhem is the first novella in our new Killer VHS Series. A series of books where movie monsters come to life and old video tapes summon long-buried evils. You’ll probably survive, as long as you remember to be kind and rewind.

The Killer VHS Series will continue this winter with Brian McAuley‘s Candy Cain Kills.
